[Guest Author : Educated Tatya]
My psychology teacher held that everyone is bi-sexual. Conditioning, upbringing, preference and an unknown biological imperative make us decide. So we are all 20, 30, 45, 85 per cent homosexual.

Questioning Myself
[Guest Author: Silvara]
A post inspired by another’s in a time when everyone was questioning themselves…
So….Dumbledore is gay.
Ok, before you decided to switch off your computer for reading yet another revelation…
My Coming Out Story
My dad always had this one complain, “When will you grow up!” till one day he stopped complaining. And no, his death didn’t change a thing. I believe (some) people hide behind (their) immaturities, pretend that they don’t take life…
100% heterosexual.
What does it mean to be heterosexual? What constitutes the state of being utterly and completely ‘straight’? Having plenty of ‘vanilla’ sex? Arranged marriage? Marrying only within your caste? Bloviating about your sexual conquests (if you are a guy) or…
Kissing a Woman
I don’t know when exactly I realized that being bisexual was different. I think I sort of assumed that everyone was attracted to both men and women with equal sexual vigour.
And I want to talk about DD. The…
Why This Blog?
When I first fell in love with a woman, I was terrified. I felt completely alone and bewildered about what I was going through. I felt like there was nobody I could talk to. That if I ever told anyone…
Can A Straight Woman And A Lesbian Woman Be Friends?
That’s like asking if a guy and girl can have a platonic friendship, isn’t it? The question is given the possibility of a sexual/romantic connection, can a relationship exist even without it?
Okay, let me get out of the pseudo-intellectualising…
Is Homosexuality A Crime?
[Guest Author : Saakshi O. Juneja]
Homosexuals. This word as most of us are aware is used for individuals who dare to voice their desire of expressing “different” sexuality. Things that do not fit within the society model…
Lack Of Social-Lezzing
No offence to my straight friends. I love them to death and honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better set of human beings who have been nothing else but fantastic with the entire coming out episode.
Whoever said that tough…

An Old Conversation With My Mother About Abnormality
I wrote this post a year and a half ago and things have changed so much since then. My mother no longer asks me if The Girl is gay or why we travel the…
Peach
Sometimes we are on the same train. I have a ’subject-to-last-minute-change’ schedule. Maybe so does she. Is she a student? Or a working professional?
She dresses like a teenager would, if she had the acquired sense of style that someone…
Ban Ban Ban
Bloody depressing to see the outcome of Proposition 8. And this is Amrika we are talking about, the so called safe haven for us gay folks. Classic example of – we like you but we don’t really like you.
"There’s

Film Review Dostana: Bring On The Caricatures
If this is the kind of sense of humor coupled with sensitivity Karan Johar and his Dostana team were talking about before the release (the NDTV interview more precisely) – I am grateful to the almighty for not making him…
Things To Do In Agra
Next time you’re visiting the Taj Mahal, here’s something that you can do:

Film Review Fashion: Fashionably Gay (Not)
Okay so I had to write on this. I mean how couldn’t I? After all the topic (which seems to be creating a lot of buzz) at hand is about my types…my people…my community. Yes yes, I know I can…

And I…
